I have an iMac Maverick and need to take the lcd screen off, which is held by magnets. Would I be able to use this to take the lcd screen off?

I think so....They have good suction, as long as you are pulling 90 degrees to the screen surface.

Not sure about that but it is gentle on glass and held my husband's weight when he pulls up with it in the car. It has good suction and I have bought similar products before that popped right off. I think it is multi functional.

It will adhere perfectly to a flat glass smooth surface and hold while you pull back on the handle as you try to pull the screen out of the iMac housing. So it would seem like it's made for the job. I've never pulled apart an iMac before, so I can't give you any advise on that front.

No. This is too big. You need something smaller with less suction power that way you won't damage the LCD screen.

Yes, place directly in center, hold the base of the iMac and pull. Very easy. here is a link to help.http://gigaom.com/2010/05/17/how-to-replace-your-imacs-hard-drive/

The answer is yes! I bought mine to do the same thing on my Imac, worked great!

Well, I am pretty sure that the makers of this tool would not have imagined that use. If the screen is glass, and large enough, then the tool should be able to get a grip on it, unless the screen is so flimsy that the suction causes it to crack. However, I have no idea whatsoever whether removing the screen like that would do any other damage to the gadget.If you decide to go this route, there are other versions of this tool. My experience with this model is that after six months, the rubber had deteriorated to the point that it would not grip anything (see my review).

Simply peel off your lcd very gently. That's what I did on my Leica M240. If it doesn't lift easily warm slightly with a hairdryer to soften the adhesive I've been told. I did not need to do this. My LCD was in harmed and I immediately ordered another Giotto.

It depends if your device is solid state or not. If it is solid state that means there are no moving parts so the magnets wont hurt anything. If your device is not solid state then you should power it completely off every time you store your laptop and move it. And if you do this properly, the magnets shouldnt have any affect on it. Also, the magnets are very small and not really what Id consider any threat to your device.

If your monitor has a VESA mount(proballey were your stand is connected to your monitor)and the the holes are either 3"x3" apart ,or 4"x4" it should work.In my Dell hand book It tells you how to take of the stand,which is'ent hard.Not that up on iMacs.Check the Apple hand book,or website.

You are talking about CRT monitors which could be affected by magnets. New screens aren't affected. Also mechanical hard drives can be affected by strong magnetic fields but SSD and micro SD cards are not affected. I have been using 2 of these for my phone and my wife's in 2 different vehicles and have not had any problems with our electronic devices.

You can try by putting your index finger on the tab and your thumb at the base of the screen and gently pull the screen away from the camera boby.This works for me.Good luck Sir.

Because this screen is used for several models and different manufacturers, I recommend you to find a video on how to disassemble your exact computer or model. Sometimes manufacturers post those videos, youtube is also a good source for those. I general you will need small Philips screwdrivers, some magnetic tips and some plastic tools to open the case where the screen goes.

I think the magnet is in the MacBook, not the connector. Either way, I used this connector to repair my charger for my MacBook Pro 2011 and it worked fine for about 12 months until the head began separating from the wires. This one does stick magnetically to the MacBook.

This will replace your cracked glass on the screen NOT the LCD screen. HOWEVER Samsung glues the glass and the LCD together and is very difficult to separate the two without damaging or scratching the LCD. If your not good at this sort of thing have someone do it for you.

I solved this problem with a 50lb magnet Master Magnetics #07502 Universal Latch MagnetClose the mount to travel position, then find the best place where magnet would grab the steel mounting plate of flat screen, while magnet is attached to base arm. Makes a very strong connection and may require a good pull to dislodge from stored position, you will hear a loud click when the magnet grabs, but is very solid solution.

Well, if you haven't removed your cracked glass yet, you will need a heat gun and plastic pry tools and/or molybine super thin wire to separate glass from LCD screen. Very tedious job that needs patience or else you will ruin LCD. If you have a LCD already new with no glass on it, the correct way to put new glass on is with liquid UV loca glue just like it's done from the factory. You can youtube how to do that. If you don't want to use uv glue, you can go easy route and just put the adhesive glass comes with at the top and bottom and the thin pieces on the sides. Be sure not to have any on the actual LCD as it will show when you put glass on.. It's not the rite way but will work. Just the touch function will not work at it's best like uv liquid loca glue that fills gap between LCD and glass.. You can dry the uv liquid glue with a uv black light or uv led flashlight or leave in sun for 30 minutes at a time checking it's dryness. Any questions just email me at AppleRepairMan27@gmail.com

Mark H-Take a small screwdriver and poke a hole in the screen. Then take a pair of small pliers and pull the screen out.Don't worry about hurting the screen,you will never need it again.

My desk is to big and sits in a corner so I got no way to mount it to my desk. Would flipping this upside down work? Then bolting it to my wall work... I've been slowly looking for a solution to mount my 27" iMac and 27" thunder bolt display with the VESA mount adapters i got from apple. I plan to buy a 3rd display here soon and been debating waiting to have all 3 and look for solution to hold all 3 displays up off my desk.

It will replace the screen however you have to be able to release the LCD from the screen without cracking it. There is a think adhesive that holds the screen to the LCD. I ruined my LCD screen in the process. I should have just paid the $150 to have it replaced with Apple.

Hi there, it works like a charm, you only need to be very cheerful when you try to remove the old display from the main case. It may brake fairly easy!!
